Sorry Bill Atkinson. I know you worked really hard to make regions and thus overlapping windows work. But since I now have 30 inch displays at both home and work, I've been tiling my windows and using Desktop Manager (and soon Spaces?) to switch between workspaces. Not having to deal with z-ordering makes mental context switches faster.

Communicating through screenshots #

My posts to the Reader blog often have screenshots, and I'm pretty picky about what goes in them. It's nice to see that others have noticed this too. My most recent post has a link to Dinosaur Comics, which the author seems to appreciate. Similarly, I intentionally left a reference to Valleywag in my trends post, which they noticed.

In some fashion, Apple does this too. A patent of theirs had a BBEdit reference, which amused the author of the software.
